New YORK, March 5.-Slocks to-day
were better than any day Ct the past
week, and there was an undertone of
strength. Prices were held barely
steady. The opening was st,aiy to
the direction of higher prices. Trading
was dull and generally steady. Prices
at noon showed almost no change from
those at the opening, after which a
ssgging tendency was noticed. which.
however, disappeared when Western
Union became strong. The close was
dull and steady, atinsigniicant changes
from the opening prices. Railroad

WHY THE newspaper proprietor Is
expected to use his capital and brains
without remuneration, to advance ev-
cry private and charitable interest IN
his neighborhood, while no such tax
is demanded of any other business or
profession, is mystery that will
never be solved this side of the grave.
1t is readily said thst ''iittle notice
don't cost the editor much" An
opinion from lawyer doesn't cost
that professional usually much be-
yond an effort, and yet the thousand
and one people who want something
for nothing in a newspaper office
would scorn to ask a lawyer for his
services free, even for the benefit of a
charitable institution, ard this in the
face of the fact that the average
country newspaper doesn't pay its
running expense apart from job Of
fee in connection Ii an accurate
account were kept of all that is de-
manded of the editor, free of cost iii
one year, and the statement published
it would show in many instances that
many poor fellow, struggling with
poverty, had given more to charity,

Romantic Marriage.

Married, in the Ringo parlors Sat-

Fadden and Miss Hattie Berry, both
of this county. The marriage, it ap-
pears, was a quiet one, not even the
brides relatives knowing of 1t until
after the ceremony had been per-
formed, OF in other words, it was q
sort of u runaway affair. The couple
met last night at party, given at

about 81 miles from the home of the
brides father, Caleb Berry. In
stead of going home this morning,
they came to Mexico, and after break
fasting at the Ringo, we're married.

prevent the marriage, had he wanted

of, while the groom is thrifty young

Mexico Prosperous
From the Moberly Monitor.

Our neighboring city of Mexico
has voted through her Council for
more light. 1t has been greatly to
the discredit of that place that her
citizens and those who visit her have
been for compelled to grope their
way through her unlighted streets.
A committee has been appointed to
contract for electric lights with j. +.
Llewellyn, who already has an eIec-
tr,c plant there. A prosperous city
like Mexico cannot afford to be so
far behind the times. To the light
ing she will also add labelling the
streets and numbering the houses.

advanced by Mr.. Cook, of the Intel
ligencer, against Mr.. George Robert
son, charging him with official cor
ruption. Pursuant to section 51S Of
the Revised Statutes Of Missouri it
was impossible for Mr.. Robertson TO
have pursued course different from
the one be did pursue. Under the
statute Mr.. Robertson was barred
from taking any part whatever In the
prosecution OF the Bedell case alluded
to by Cook. The relation that Mr..
Robertson had with the Bedeli case
was identically the same after as be-
fore be became States Attorney.
He could act as counsel for Bedell
only, because Bedell was his client
before he, Robertson, became Prose-
cutting Attorney.

ONE effect of the interstate com
merce bill will be to shut out about
one-third of the snap theatrical
shows. There are scores of travelling
companies that barely get through
the season slipping from one town to
another by the grace of low railroad
rates, and if the law is strictly en-
forced they will be compelled to dis
band, not being able to pay full
schedule rates. 1t will be a capital
thing for The big fellows, but il
means death to the little ones. OF
course the railroads will lose money
by it, and SO, also, will the hotels.
There are scores Of hotels in this
country in tie smaller towns that
could not exist if it were not for the
great number OF small travelling com.
panies aud the drummers. Both
these classes of guests get specia
rates, but if the former should cease
to come the houses would not take in
$50 a week. The bill will shut of
all passes, too, but we guess if rail
road wants man to ride free over its
line it will find some means to pro
vide him with transportation. Fol
instance; there is nothing in the bill
that prevents them from giving him /
ticket and squaring the ticket agent
account in some way. There would
be no trace of any such transaction
and it would be an extremely diff
cult thing for the commission to prove
it against the company. This bill
will also do away with all newspaper
passes and excursions. Only an actua
